I'm trying to write unit tests for json validation (since the app heavily relies on json from a rest API). I have a local file that contains simple json: "goodFeaturedJson.txt" The contents: { "test": "TEST" } The test case: - (void)testJsonIsValid { Featured *featured = [Featured new]; NSString* filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"goodFeaturedJson" ofType:@"text"]; NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filepath]; NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filepath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];//[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data

I want to do unit testing in iOS. By default test classes are created using XCTest framework classes in Xcode 5. I have used SenTestingKit in earlier versions of iOS. What are the differences between these two frameworks? What are the advantages of XCTest framework. I googled for related documentation but I did not find any. Only thing I found is the interface classes to use inside the kit. Can anyone point me to the related resources. Apple's documentation is notably lacking with regards to testing. It's a shame, because spending five minutes with XCTest made me fall for it. So, here are some

I have set up an XCode 5 iOS 7 project for unit tests. Of course, setting up the unit tests are taking me so long that I'm trying to keep the faith that it's worth it. Struggling for hours over this error: ld: building for iOS Simulator, but linking against dylib built for MacOSX file '/Applications/Xcode5-DP5.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/XCTest.framework/XCTest' for architecture i386 Any ideas on how to solve? Check your Framework Search Paths in your test target settings. These can be corrupted when adding the XCTest Framework. Adding XCTest to one of my projects prepended a "/"

Is there a way to load a prototype cell, along with any IBOutlet connections as defined within a storyboard? Update I want to unit test the cell (a UICollectionViewCell for that mater), hence would like to load it outside of a UIViewController context. Effectively, in the same way that you can load a custom view from a nib, specifying its file's owner and have its IBOutlet(s) set. Edit: As far as I know, it's not possible to use prototype UITableViewCells from a Storyboard anywhere other than the ViewController you created it in. I haven't tried this with unit tests yet but you can easily put

I was having some trouble unit testing some grand central dispatch code with the built in Xcode unit testing framework, SenTestingKit. I managed to boil my problem done to this. I have a unit test that builds a block and tries to execute it on the main thread. However, the block is never actually executed, so the test hangs because it's a synchronous dispatch. - (void)testSample { dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void) { NSLog(@"on main thread!"); }); STFail(@"FAIL!"); } What is it about the testing environment that causes this to hang? BJ Homer dispatch_sync runs a block on a given

This is related to my previous question , but different enough that I figured I'd throw it into a new one. I have some code that runs async on a custom queue, then executes a completion block on the main thread when complete. I'd like to write unit test around this method. My method on MyObject looks like this. + (void)doSomethingAsyncThenRunCompletionBlockOnMainQueue:(void (^)())completionBlock { dispatch_queue_t customQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.myObject.myCustomQueue", 0); dispatch_async(customQueue, ^(void) { dispatch_queue_t currentQueue = dispatch_get_current_queue(); dispatch
